Host a Holiday Wine Tasting Night with Partytrick x Vinebox

There's something about the sophistication and elegance of a wine tasting that makes it the perfect occasion to infuse with holiday cheer. Whether you're a red wine connoisseur, a white wine devotee, or a rosé-all-day kind of person, Partytrick and Vinebox have teamed up to bring you a holiday wine tasting night so merry that even Mariah would be singing, "All I want for Christmas is wine!" So, break out the velvet, cozy knits, and crystal glasses—it’s time to host a holiday wine tasting that’s pure festive magic.

Start hosting here!

Let’s start with the star of the night—wine! Vinebox has crafted exclusive holiday tasting boxes that are perfect for an elegant evening in. With Partytrick’s partnership, you get access to these tasting sets that will wow your guests and delight every palate:

Holiday Lights 3-Pack: This trio of crisp whites from Italy and France will transport your guests to snowy vineyards. Think jasmine, pear, pineapple, and a little almond on the finish—a wine flight that’s as elegant as it is refreshing​.

Sleigh Ride 3-Pack: Featuring bold Spanish reds and a zesty Grenache Blanc, this pack delivers deep, smoky, and juicy flavors that will have everyone asking for seconds. Perfect for the red-wine lovers in the room​.

Stocking Sipper Red 3-Pack: All reds, all cozy. With vibrant flavors of blackberry, raspberry, and a hint of violet, these wines are made for cuddling up by the fire with friends (and maybe a plate of charcuterie).

Step 2: Set the Scene (And Sparkle!)

Throw on your sequins and light up the tree! When it comes to holiday decor, Partytrick has your back. We provide decor ideas complete with shoppable links so you can effortlessly create the ambiance of your dreams. Think evergreen garlands, rustic wine barrel accents, or even some elegant gold touches to make your tasting event shimmer. Want more? We’ve got themed playlists ready to set the vibe—whether you’re going for classic jazz or modern holiday pop, we’ll keep your guests tapping their toes all night long.

Step 3: Curate Your Perfect Pairings

Wine tastings are all about elevating the flavors, so don’t forget the snacks! Here’s how to match those wines to the tastiest bites:

Holiday Lights: Pair these fresh whites with light bites like white pizza, ceviche, or scallops. The wines’ crisp notes play beautifully with bright, delicate flavors.

Sleigh Ride: These bold reds beg for rich, cozy foods. Think crockpot roasts, mature cheeses, or mole sauces that balance the smoky, juicy profiles​.

Stocking Sipper Red: These reds shine alongside hearty snacks like smoked BBQ, duck breast, or charcuterie. Or keep it casual with pizza—no one’s complaining about that!​

Step 4: Add a Splash of Education

Make it a learning (and sipping) experience! Each Vinebox set comes with tasting notes, and if you want to take it to the next level, play Vinebox’s sommelier-led tasting videos for a mini-masterclass right at home. Impress your friends with fun facts about the wines, the vineyards, and maybe even a little trivia on wine regions. You’ll sound like a connoisseur, no sommelier certificate required!

Step 5: Bring It All Together with Partytrick’s Tools

At Partytrick, we’re all about making hosting as seamless as possible. Here’s how we’ll help you every step of the way:

Shoppable Links for Decor and Food: We offer clickable shopping lists, so setting the scene is as easy as a few taps.

Timed Reminders: No one likes last-minute stress, so we send you reminders (via email and SMS!) at every step, from shopping lists a week out to reminders to chill your wine. You’ll stay on track and totally zen.

Pre-Event Timeline: We map out a full timeline leading up to the event, ensuring that you know exactly what to do, and when. With reminders and tips, we help you plan and execute flawlessly, so you can be the host who has it all under control!
